  • The Historical Development and Culture of Times Square Relative to Our Buildings
    The Historical Development and Culture Of Times Square Relative to Our Buildings Ryan Richards Alejandro Colmenares Daley Holder Ryan Richards Alejandro Colmenares Daley Holder The Historical Development and Culture Of Times Square Relative to Our Buildings The research topic that our group covered, is how our specific buildings developed along with the development of Times Square in the 20th century. We take a deep look into Times Square as it was developing, as we take a look into specific developments of our theater buildings at the time. We chose these buildings not only because of their age, but because they show the most work being done, while still standing today. It is to show the massive changing of Times Square as these buildings changed whether in practices or image. We, not only as a group, but as a class can see the history of these areas in relation to each other being part of the entertainment scene. Ryan’s process researching his building and Times Square was mixture between difficult, interesting, and substantial. In the beginning of the class my initial research topic was sixth Avenue on the block that has multiple restaurants and hotels, I proposed the idea to both professors and that mixed responses which ultimately led to me developing an interest in the PlayStation theater/the Astor Plaza. Researching this block led to reaching a new level of depth in research. I was able to access databases that the average civilian doesn't have access to. I was taught how to access articles, journals, and historical text all accessed from the computer.

The second part discusses the organization and staffing of the Office of Inspector General and summarizes its operations during the period.

In these and other program areas, recommendations were made to reduce vul­ nerability to fraud, waste, and abuse. Top management has been both receptive and responsive to our recom­ mendations. Your support has brought us closer to our mutual goal of improved agency operations. Sincerely, /</ "7, , , ~?:~:.X~~ EPH A.

  • High-Hise Building Oata Base
    High-Hise Building Oata Base Since the inception of the Council, various surveys have been made con­ cerning the location, number of stories, height, material, and use of tall buildings around the world. The first report on these surveys was published in the Council's Proceedings of the First International Conference in 1972. TaU Building Systems and Concepts (Volume SC) brought that information up to date with a detailed survey in 1980. Changes to some of the data were reflected in Developments in TaU Buildings-1983, with further updating in Advances in TaU Buildings (January, 1986), High-Rise Buildings: Recent Progress (November, 1986), and TaU Build­ ings 0/ the World (February, 1987). This present volume provides the newer information more recently received. The original survey was based mainly on information collected from individuals in the major cities of the world. The main criterion for the selection of a city was generally its population. Another criterion was the availability of a Council member or other contact who might provide the needed information. This Appendix updates Table l. Because the data came from so many sourees, complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Buildings change names or new ones break ground, and this information is sometimes slow in reaching the Council headquarters. In this sense the survey keeps its nature as a "living document." Additions and corrections to the information presented here are welcomed, and should be brought to the attention of Council Headquarters at Lehigh University. 1003 1004 Second Century of the Skyscraper Table 1: World's TaUest Buildings. This is a list of the world's 100 tallest buildings.

Each of the towers encompassed 110 stories above the Plaza level and seven levels below. WTC 1 (the north tower) had a roof height of 1,368 feet, briefly earning it the title of the world’s tallest building. WTC 2 (the south tower) was nearly as tall, with a roof height of 1,362 feet. WTC 1 also supported a 360-foot-tall television and radio transmission tower. Each building had a square floor plate, 207 feet 2 inches long on each side. Corners were chamfered 6 feet 11 inches. Nearly an acre of floor space was provided at each level. A rectangular service core, with overall dimensions of approximately 87 feet by 137 feet, was present at the center of each building, housing 3 exit stairways, 99 elevators, and 16 escalators. Figure 2-1 presents a schematic plan of a representative aboveground floor. The project was developed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (hereafter referred to as the Port Authority), a bi-state public agency. Original occupancy of the towers was dominated by government agencies, including substantial occupancy by the Port Authority itself. However, this occupancy evolved over the years and, by 2001, the predominant occupancy of the towers was by commercial tenants, including a number of prominent financial and insurance services firms.

  • CITICORP CENTER (Now 601 LEXINGTON AVENUE
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 6, 2016, Designation List 491 LP-2582 CITICORP CENTER (now 601 LEXINGTON AVENUE) including SAINT PETER’S CHURCH 601 Lexington Avenue (aka 601-635 Lexington Avenue, 139-153 East 53rd Street, 140-160 East 54th Street, 884-892 Third Avenue), Manhattan Built, 1973-78; architects, Hugh A. Stubbins & Associates and Emery Roth & Sons Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1308, Lot 7501 (1001, 1002, 1005) On September 13, 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of Citicorp Center (now 601 Lexington Avenue), including Saint Peter’s Church, and the proposed designation of the related landmark site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Four people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of Saint Peter’s Church, Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, and the Municipal Art Society of New York. The principal owner, Boston Properties, and the Real Estate Board of New York submitted written testimony in support of designation. Summary The former Citicorp Center is a major example of late 20th century modern architecture. Designed by Hugh A. Stubbins & Associates, in association with Emery Roth & Sons, this early mixed-use complex contains three interlocking buildings: a 59-story office tower, a 6-story retail-and-office structure, and Saint Peter’s Church. Commissioned by First National City Bank (now Citibank), the 915-foot-tall office tower is one of New York City’s most recognizable skyscrapers. Important for its slanted top, four “super” columns that rise over 100 feet and generous public spaces, it plays a major role on the Manhattan skyline.
